“These reports of a Senate staffer carelessly handling a loaded firearm while engaged in a bar fight, along with a report that two Republican legislators were involved in a physical altercation are not just embarrassing, but alarming. Just today, the Missouri General Assembly Republicans argued for advancing legislation that would allow anyone to carry a concealed weapon in a drinking establishment without training or licensing. Missourians should be concerned that the legislators responsible for drafting this bad policy are engaging in such irresponsible actions. Speaker Haahr and Senate President Schatz must act decisively to assure Missourians that the public, and our school children, will be safe when visiting their state capital.”
